Anything we do as companions that brings us together is of the Lord. Anything that keeps us apart is of Satan.

Don't mock or make fun of companions.

Alma 5:30-31

Most arguments are doubtful disputations.

Don't give companion the silent treatment.

Your companions are just as important as any investigators.

Romans 14:10

Never talk negatively about companion, be faithful to companion.

You are really learning how to get married.

D&C 88:133

Stop whining.

Best thing you can do for companion is to deny yourselves of ungodliness.

Pray in faith for your companion with real intent to do something.

Why did we have a Restoration?

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob promised their posterity would have the gospel.

What have you always known to be a strength? What did your patriarchal blessing tell us?

Prophets before all knew their people would apostatize. Lord comforted them with latter-days.

How do we arm ourselves with power of God?

MTC Sacrament Meeting: Being Virtuous

Elaine S. Dalton (Young Women's President)

This is the temple. MTC fells like the temple because of the Spirit.

Leave to God to order and provide.

May feel like we are on a hill. Hills test us, our strength, etc.

We see daughters of God, who stand as witnesses. Shine through the world.

Testimony will be your engine through your faith.

Lord added virtue to YW theme for our day.

Virtue is purity, chastity (core) comes from arete, moral purity. Very virtue of life will change the world.

We feel good about ourselves when we are doing what Heavenly Father asked us to do.

All the city did know Ruth is a virtuous woman.

People will know if you are virtuous. To be called virtuous is the supreme compliment.

Can one virtuous woman led by the Spirit change the world? Yes, she can and will.

Esther understood her identity and risked her power to save her people. She knew how to draw on heaven's power to get through trails.

Love the hills, they make you taller and the view is wonderful.

When fast and pray can pull on powers of heaven.

Purity gave her power.

When you go to King of Kings, he will accept you, hear and answer prayers.

She will pray for us missionaries every day.

Brother Yiwei (Gray)

Obedience is the first law.

Obedience shouldn't be an irritant, but a quest.

• Make a quest to sleep by 10:30 pm.
  
• Vitally important to know right from wrong.
• Submissiveness important for obedience.
• Our will only unique thing we have to give to God.
• Lengthen your stride.
